Well its pretty much done for now! Still a few niggly things to sort but im happy for now! It feels so good to be driving it again, It'll be at the fitted show in manchester this weekend . 

Absolute stunner, congratulations!

Had an awesome weekend at Fitted, and came home with a top 20 award, I couldnt believe it!

 

 

Well deserved, congratulations 👌

I took my Derby to ultimate dubs a couple of weeks ago, and manged to get a top 20 there 🙂  

 

 

 

Next job is to fit my air ride so I can get it sitting how I want, this will be done for Early Edition in May. 

I got the air ride fitted on my Derby a few weeks ago, it all went smoothly, I've still got a little bit of tidying to do in the boot. I took it down to early edition the other week, I was a little apprehensive as its the furthest its travelled since the rebuild, but it drove down great and I won a top 20 along with Stuart (his Mk1 Polo is amazing!!!), unfortunately on the way home the rotor arm broke and I ended up stranded and didnt get home until 3.15 in the morning! Luckily with a new rotor arm its driving great again, heres a few pics from the last couple of weeks 🙂

You charmer! Well done on a fantastic looking and, rotor arm aside, performing beast of a Derby!

Epic weekend at Players a few weeks ago, heres a few of my favourite shots 

Do you have any kind of cabin heater/blower at all or have you totally done away with it? I will be starting work on my wifes very soon but the previous owner has removed the scuttle and welded up the heater hole similar to yours. She doesn't want it to be particularly fast so wasn't planning on fitting throttle bodies or individual carbs (which is a shame as I have the AUB on gsxr ITB's out of my Golf sat under the workbench). Currently undecided whether to reinstate something OEM or leave as is and draw air from the wheel arch or something

No cabin heater, I only plan to use the car in nice weather etc, or wear a jumper! Also the opening 1/4's do a good job of letting fresh air in. I've been using it like this for a year now and not run into any problems yet. Cheers

I took the Derby to Rollhard a Bicester Heritage at the weekend, what an amazing show at an awesome venue. I was totally blown away to get a top 10 favourite award. Heres my new favourite photo by Ross Delaney 😎

I did think that might be the case 😛 Nice one! she does look the danglies I must say. I need to keep an eye out more for shows. I'm not that far from Bicester
